Teenager Charlie Kutuyampo, who was stabbed to death in an east London park, was killed in a row over a tracksuit, it is believed.

The 16-year-old was leaving a friend’s birthday party at a social club in the Ashton playing fields in Woodford, east London, when he was confronted by four male youths who apparently accused him of stealing a tracksuit.

One of the males stabbed Charlie before the group made off towards Chigwell Road, police said. Officers were called to the scene at 9.40pm and Charlie was taken to hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
